Now, for some real stuff:
possibility is not spelled possiability..... you consistently put the 'a' in there, the same goes for possiable and all similar words.
It's this consistency in some of your spelling mistakes that makes people cringe about it.
The occasional typo, we can all live with, but consistently misspelling some specific words does show something else...
You say "possiable"?
This reminds me of Brazilians writing some words like they say them, instead of writing them in correct portuguese, because, you know, their language is portuguese... their accent, on the other hand, is something else.
The PT word for "but" is mas.
But the brazilians say mais and write mais...... however, mais is the PT word for plus or more, which leaves you wondering what on earth do they mean?!
Bottom line: if you're using the english language, try to use the words as they are agreed upon and not as you say them. I am aware that the speaking and spelling in english don't have very clear rules and some words you just have to know how to spell them, because when spoken they have nothing to do with the written version.... gauge, I'm looking at you. But still, it seems like you're a native english speaker, so you must have learned how to spell in your childhood.... much earlier than me.... still I manage to get most of it right, so should you... mental problems or no mental problems.
